Art: Alice Aycock

Alice Aycock, one of America's most distinguished public sculptors, will be here Thursday to dedicate her 19-foot-tall, aluminum-and-steel "Super Twister" at the five-year-old CARE/Crawley Building on the University of Cincinnati Medical Campus (3230 Eden Ave., Clifton).

The artwork is funded by the Ohio Percent for Art program. While the noon reception is an invitation-only event (although you can see the outdoor sculpture anytime), she is giving a public lecture Thursday evening in Room 4400 of UC's College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning.
